Ok so I've always built my own computers. I recently came into a good amount of money and I am buying a new comp. I'm looking at parts at newegg right now but I'd also like to see some of the websites that are legit and good prices for building your own.

they don't all have crazy lights on them...
I like having them on mine though, saves me from having to turn the lights on in the room in the middle of the night if I wake up or something and need to get up...don't have to blind myself  (my bedroom is the next room over, so I walk from it to the stairs to go down).

I like Digital Storm.
I used them for my last comp, and so did both of my brothers. I just got sick of using newegg because I would get a doa piece on each new build. That got to be a huge pain in the ass.

My only issue with buying pre-builts is as soon as you start customizing the basic build to tweak it to your tastes, the added costs make it unworthy. However, there is no "tech support" when you build your own and you have to do your research to know which memory can go on which motherboard, what video card can fit inside what case, and all that. Then, when you turn it on for the first time, if something smokes, it's *your* problem and no one elses.
All that said, I've built my own computers ever since my first 'pre-built' Packard Bell machine and have never blown anything up or had any piece of hardware die on me, ever. The thing is, you either have the confidence to build and you know a couple buddies that can help you if needed, or you don't. If the whole thing is just too daunting, and you've got the cash, then there's no guilt in buying an HP, or Dell, or one from whoever. Just don't buy Cyber Power, even if they still are in business.

My Antec 300 case has two tiny blue leds and that's it. No fan lights, and none of that other crap. Only problem is that the stock Antec fans aren't super quiet.
The case wasn't expensive either. It's tight, but it's Antec so the design is ok, and doesn't have a million sharp edges inside.
